Cell Phone Policy

 

STUDENT PHONE POLICY & GUIDELINES

Phones are not to be used during school. Every student is assigned a personal Yondr Pouch. While the Yondr Pouch is considered school property, it is each student’s responsibility to bring their Pouch with them to school every day and keep it in good working condition.

DAILY PROCESS

As students Arrive to School, they will:

1)    Turn their phone off.

2)    Place their phone inside their Pouch and secure it in front of school staff.

3)    Store their Pouch in their backpack for the day.

At the end of the day, students will open their Pouch, remove their phone, close their Pouch and put it in their backpack. Students must bring their Pouch to school with them each day.   

*Students arriving late or leaving early will pouch/unpouch their phones in the Main Office.

VIOLATIONS 

Pouch Damage / Lost Pouch / Using Phone During School

-       If a student damages their Pouch or their phone is visible (even if off), Administration will collect the phone/Pouch and call home for a Parent Pickup. The phone will not be returned to a student or anyone not on the student’s emergency card.

-       Lost Pouch- All scholars will receive 1 pouch free of charge. If that pouch becomes lost or damaged, the school will charge a $10 fee to issue a new pouch. 

Examples of damage:

 

FORGOTTEN POUCH

If a student forgets their Pouch, their phone will be collected and Admin will call home to remind the Parent of the policy. The phone will be returned to the student at dismissal.

 If a student consistently forgets their Pouch, it is considered Lost. Refer to the Lost Pouch policy above.
